Ranked: States Where Americans Have the Most Cash in the Bank

See this visualization first on the Voronoi app.

Households in Hawaii have the highest median bank balance at $43,600. In contrast, households in Mississippi hold about $2,000 in the bank.

While households in states with large economies (California, Florida, Washington) do tend to have more money in the bank, Texas and New York both buck the trend.

Instead, cross-referencing this map with an earlier visualization on median incomes offers the most correlation. Households in wealthier states tend to have more in the bank.

For example, Hawaii’s economy ranks 38th in the country. However it also has some seriously wealthy residents. About one in 10 Hawaiian households are millionaires. The state’s median income ($142,000) is only second after DC.

On the other hand, New York City is home to the most millionaires in the country, but the state’s median bank balance ranks 22nd.

This could indicate many things: significant wealth disparity in the state, more spending, or also that New Yorkers are investing their savings.

Meanwhile, Southern states tend to hold less cash in the bank. These same clusters of states also have a higher share of residents under the poverty threshold.
